The newest member of our family

Introducing Flash . . .

Ryan's new dwarf hamster

Ryan's still not too sure about him. He's a lot smaller than his last hamster and seems to be more skittish. We're not sure if he's a biter but when in doubt wear really thick, gardening gloves, just in case. I love this cute face on Ryan. Trying his best to look up at the camera and smile and not let Flash fall out of his hands or bite him.

Congrats on the new hamster! After Allison's hamster died a couple of weeks ago she decided to change pace, so we are now proud owners of two guinea pigs......one of which will be undergoing surgery for an abcess tomorrow. The things we do for our kids :-)

Did you find out if dwarf hamsters are prone to any strange tumors before you bought it?Jacob is an animal lover too. (Me, not so much.) I never thought we'd end up with turtles and chickens. It's not how I imagined my life would be! :)

About us

We quickly filled our home with 6 beautiful children--3 boys and 3 girls. This blog is about our adventures, memories, travels, accomplishments, frustrations, traditions, chaos and hopefully some laughter. But it's also about my journey of being a mother to a daughter with Down syndrome and the gift that she is to our family! This is our story . . .
